Back in the free-wheeling late ’90s and early 2000s, Wizard put out a bunch of comic specials usually but not always numbered “#½” for Marvel (and a number of publishers). After a bit of poking around I’ve put together this list:

What is Silver Surfer/Witchblade #½? Is it a preview of that Devil’s Reign crossover, a part of it, a sketchbook thing, or what? Is this the Silver Surfer/Witchblade comic that’s already in the MCP, or something different?

I see a Gambit #½ is listed in the MCP, but only for one character, and that character is -BTS. It looks like this one didn’t get fully added into the MCP, but to be fair, I haven’t actually flipped through the comic yet.

None of Spider-Man Unlimited (volume 2, the cartoon one) is in the MCP, so this is no surprise.

Am I missing anything? Yeah, there was an X-Men one that previewed the first few pages of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run, a reprint of Alex Ross’ first published Marvel work from Open Space, some sketchbook stuff for Paradise X, etc., but I’m just looking at original content here.

I haven't dug out the comics yet, but it looks like the Silver Surfer / Witchblade comic that's already in the MCP is this Wizard thing (there are no other ones that have the Silver Surfer / Witchblade match-up). It's a prelude to the crossover AND it's already in the MCP.

Husk, Jubilee and Skin all appear in the story set in Los Angeles. Emma Frost probably rates a BTS appearance as it states that she brought the three students to LA on her business trip.

Also, there are two separate FB sequences, when the MCP currently only lists one. There should be a FB for Skin and Tores both directly before and after the GENX 34-FB, as Generation X #½ deals with events before and after the events in GENX 34-FB.

I am currently still collecting 1998 Marvels so I can't suggest a placement for these missing appearances. Thought you would like to know though.
